There was much ado over the long weekend regarding the “leaked” red band “Girl With The Dragon Tattoo” trailer, but I’m very much of the mind that it was an intentional (and brilliant) move on part of Sony Pictures publicity to play up the hacker nature of the film.

Especially since the YouTube bootleg video, which racked up over 1.5 million views, was only taken down when this new “official” version was released. Content-wise they’ve very similar — only one shot of a topless Lisbeth & a violated Mikael have been removed — which means this one is equally amazing.

And since you’re going to ask, the sensational song is Karen O & Trent Reznor covering Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song.”

Also exciting is concrete proof that the American version will delve into the historical portions of the novel that were sorely missing from the Swedish movies. Adaptations I do believe (don’t hate me for saying this) are kind of overrated and totally capable of being overshadowed by David Fincher’s version.

Here are two divine images that prove my pastime point, followed by both the official and unofficial trailers!
